Newsletter of the North Carolina State Board of Examiners of Electrical Contractors

Newsletter of the North Carolina State Board of Examiners of Electrical Contractors

1MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN We are now in the New Year, 2015! Where did the Old Year go? The Board of Examiners of Electrical Contractors, however, is in its third quarter of the fiscal year. Tim Norman, our new Executive Director, has been hard at work taking up the reigns. The PED (Program Evaluation Division) has been working on its recommendation to the Legislature and that has kept Tim Busy monitoring them. It appears that PED will recommend that the structure of our Board will remain as it is at present. Some type of oversight is also in the PED’s recommendation. Who knows what might happen in the Legislature, so everyone should be monitoring the process. The Board certainly will be keeping up with it. Gerald Harvell from the Charlotte area has joined the Board as a Public Member. Gerald is a welcomed addition. He brings a great deal of expertise to the Board. This past year, the Board’s proposal to increase the Project Value Limits was given final approval and is now in effect. Also a proposal to increase the License Fees was approved. These fees will become effective on July 1, 2015. Details about these changes are included in this newsletter. Because there were questions and misunderstandings concerning the Board’s proposal to establish a voluntary Electrical Technicians Certification, the Board decided to table the proposal. The Board will not renew the proposal until all questions are addressed and everyone has a clear understanding of the proposal. Tim and staff have been traveling through the State to meet with contractors at their Chapter meetings. They are being well received and are answering questions and bring back concerns to the Board. If your Chapter wishes Tim or staff to attend one of your meetings, simply call and ask. This year in March, in conjunction with the third quarter Board meeting, the Board will be meeting for three days for committee meetings. There is much work to be done reviewing the Board’s rules, as requested by the State Rules Review Commission. Plans for the upcoming year are also on the agenda. Plan to attend the annual North Carolina Electrical Institute this April 8 & 9. Hope to see you there. James Carpenter, Chairperson PRICE REDUCTIONS – CODE BOOKS The Board has reduced the price of the 2011 and 2014 National Electrical Code books. The cost for the 2011 NEC is now $50.00 and the 2014 NEC is now $80.00 regardless of the quantity ordered.

Congratulations Russell and Derrick! 3BOARD LAWS AND RULES ADOPTED SEPTEMBER 2014 Two of the Board rules have now been amended and given final approval. PROJECT VALUE LIMITS The project value limits for limited and intermediate licenses were changed in Board Rule 21 NCAC 18B .0303 and became effective September 1, 2014. G.S. 87-43-3 grants authority to the Board to adjust the project value limitation for each class of license based on the project cost index. The limits have not changed since 2008. The Board carried out an analysis of changes in construction cost and found that an increase in size of job available to holders of limited and intermediate license is supported by the data and appropriate. THE COMPLETE TEXT IS BELOW, with the changes set out near the end—note that this rule also describes how to calculate the project value. 21 NCAC 18B .0303 ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION: PROJECT: PROJECT VALUE-LIMITATION For the purpose of implementing G.S. 87-43.3 pertaining to the limited and intermediate electrical contracting license classifications, the following provisions shall apply: (1) Electrical Installation. Electrical work is construed to be an electrical installation when the work is made or is to be made: (a) in or on a new building or structure; (b) in or on an addition to an existing building or structure; (c) in or on an existing building or structure, including electrical work in connection with lighting or power rewiring or with the addition or replacement of machines, equipment or fixtures; or (d) in an area outside of buildings or structures, either overhead or underground or both. (2) Project. An electrical installation is construed to be a separate electrical contracting project if all the following conditions are met: (a) the installation is, or will be, separate and independently supplied by a separate service, feeder, or feeder system; (b) the installation is for: (i) an individual building or structure which is separated from other buildings or structures by a lot line or, if located on the same lot with other buildings or structures, is physically separated from such other buildings or structures by an open space or an area separation fire wall; (ii) an individual townhouse single-family dwelling unit constructed in a series or group of attached units with property lines separating such units; (iii) an individual tenant space in a mall-type shopping center; (iv) an addition to an existing building or structure; (v) an existing building or structure, including electrical work in connection with lighting or power rewiring or with the addition or replacement of machines, equipment, or fixtures; or (vi) an outdoor area either overhead or underground or both; (c) the negotiations or bidding procedures for the installation are carried out in a manner totally separate and apart from the negotiations or bidding procedures of any other electrical installation or part thereof; (d) except for additions, alterations, repairs, or changes to a pre-existing electrical installation, no electrical interconnection or relationship exists between the installation and any other electrical installation or part thereof; and (e) a separate permit is required to be obtained for each individual building structure or outdoor area involved from the governmental agency having jurisdiction. If a question is raised by a party at interest or if requested by the Board or Board's staff for any reason, the owner or the awarding authority or an agent of either shall furnish to the Board, and to the inspections 4department having jurisdiction, a sworn affidavit confirming that the conditions set forth in Sub-Items (2)(a) through (e) of this Rule are satisfied or the project will be treated as a single project. (3) Relationship of Plans and Specifications to Definition of Project. Even though the electrical work may not fully comply with each condition set out in Item (2) of this Rule, the entire electrical work, wiring, devices, appliances or equipment covered by one set of plans or specifications shall be construed as a single electrical contracting project by the Board. (4) Project Value Limitation. In determining the value of a given electrical contracting project, the total known or reasonable estimated costs as determined by the Board of all electrical wiring materials, equipment, fixtures, devices, and installation shall be included in arriving at this value, regardless whether a third party such as an owner or general contractor furnishes all or part of same, and regardless of the form or type of contract or subcontract involved. (a) if the total cost of the wiring, materials, etc., including that furnished by others, plus the total cost of the installation involved, will be more than fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) but not more than one hundred thirty thousand dollars ($130,000), then only an electrical contractor holding either an intermediate or unlimited license shall be eligible to submit a proposal or engage in the project. (b) if the total cost of the wiring, materials, etc., including that furnished by others, plus the total cost of the installation involved, will exceed one hundred thirty thousand dollars ($130,000), then only an electrical contractor holding an unlimited license shall be eligible to submit a proposal or engage in the project. If a given electrical contracting project is subdivided into two or more contracts or subcontracts for any reason, then the total value of the combined contracts or subcontracts that may be awarded to or accepted by any one licensee of the Board must be within the total project value in accordance with this Rule. The Board's staff shall make a determination of what constitutes a project in any given situation, and any party at interest may appeal any staff determination to the Board for a final binding decision.

WELL CONTRACTOR LICENSING CHANGES The General Assembly created a partial exemption for well contractors. This was NOT a change sought by this Board. G.S. 87-43.1 was amended by adding the following new subdivision to read: 5"§ 87-43.1. Exceptions. The provisions of this Article shall not apply: (10) To the installation, construction, maintenance, or repair of electrical wiring, devices, appliances, or equipment by a person certified as a well contractor under Article 7A of this Chapter when running electrical wires from the well pump to the pressure switch." SECTION 42.(b) G.S. 87-98.6 reads as rewritten: "§ 87-98.6. Well contractor qualifications and examination. (a) The Commission, with the advice and assistance of the Secretary, shall establish minimum requirements of education, experience, and knowledge for each type of certification for well contractors and shall establish procedures for receiving applications for certification, conducting examinations, and making investigations of applicants as may be necessary and appropriate so that prompt and fair consideration will be given to each applicant. Page 30 S734 [Ratified] (b) The Commission, with the advice and assistance of the Secretary, shall establish minimum requirements of education, experience, and knowledge for each type of certification for well contractors for the installation, construction, maintenance, and repair of electrical wiring devices, appliances, and equipment related to the construction, operation, and repair of wells. Requirements developed pursuant to this subsection shall apply only to the initial certification of an applicant and shall not be required as part of continuing education or as a condition of certification renewal." SECTION 42.(c) This section is effective when it becomes law. The requirements of subsection (b) of G.S. 87-98.6, as enacted by Section 42(b) of this act, apply to applicants applying for certification on or after the date this section becomes effective. Eff. September 18, 2014. The Board remains concerned about potential injury and also about persons who fail to understand or adhere to the limits of the new exemption.EMPLOYEE OR INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR Pursuant to NCGS 87-43.1 Exception (3), a person in the course of his work as a bona fide employee of a licensee of the Board is not required to hold a license of his own. Board Rule .0306 also sets out conditions that must be met. This rule identifies specific conditions the Board will require and evaluate to determine whether a person is exempt as an employee. Suggested items to keep in your files include: EMPLOYER FORMS or VALID CERTIFICATES SS-4 Federal Employer Identification Number www.irs.gov AS/RP1 State Employer Identification Number www.dor.state.nc.us W-2 Employee Wage & Tax Statement www.irs.gov Insurance Certificates www.ncesc.com www.comp.state.nc.us EMPLOYEE FILE W-4 Employee Federal Withholding Form www.irs.gov NC-4 Employee State Withholding Form www.dor.state.nc.us I-9 Employment Eligibility Verification Form www.uscis.gov NC New Hire Reporting Form www.ncnewhires.com EMPLOYEE or INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR Example 1. Pulling Wire Electric has worked with a General Contractor (GC) for many years. (GC) calls to say he has a motel project in Goldsboro that is to far for daily commute. Pulling Wire Electric would hate for (GC) to start using somebody else. 6Pulling Wire Electric finds Jerry Jones near Snow Hill. Jerry has no license but agrees to help Pulling Wire Electric handle the work for $20,000.00 if Pulling Wire Electric supplies fixtures. Pulling Wire Electric gets the permit and sends a superintendent every Monday. Jerry Jones provides the people and keeps the job together the rest of the week. Legal or not? What happens when the work fails inspection or doesn’t get done on time? Answer: Pulling Wire Electric is guilty of both peddling license and inadequate supervision and faces suspension of license and loss of business which took years to build. Jerry Jones and all his people are guilty of working without license. Neither Jerry Jones nor any of the helpers are “bona fide employees” of Pulling Wire Electric. Most likely Pulling Wire Electric gave Jerry Jones a 1099-MISC Form, and Jerry Jones gave cash to the helpers. Sending a superintendent once a week was inadequate supervision. Example 2. Les Getuit has built his business up to three crews plus a service truck, doing mostly residential work. Last week, General Contractor (GC) calls to see if Les can take on the new Medical Office Building near the hospital. This is a great chance for Les to add some commercial work. He already has the necessary Intermediate license. Les doesn’t have enough people. Les sees that (GC) pick up crews for painting and framing, etc., pay on a 1099-MISC Form, and seem to make plenty of money. Les runs into Frank Brooks who says he has Fridays and weekends free and can get some more guys to help. Frank Brooks says he can line up 10 guys. Is Les headed for riches or ruin? The latter. Frank Brooks and the boys are not bona fide employees. License trades are different from painters, masons and roofers. Lives depend on the work being right. All the people on Les Getuit’s office building must be bona fide employees and Les must supervise and direct their work. Les can’t build his business picking up labor like roofers or painters. Even though Les plans to be on the job every day, Frank Brooks and the boys are not bona fide employees. Example 3. After talking to the guys at the County Association meeting and reading the Electrical Board newsletter, Les realizes he can put Frank Brooks on the payroll, even if it’s just three days per week, and even if they also work somewhere else. With good supervision from Les, there will be no problem knowing who controls the work and who provides supervision. Example 4. A year goes by; Frank Brooks calls Les and says I finally passed the electrical board’s test. I’d like to catch some of your overflow work. Les thinks to himself. – I can’t afford to hire Frank Brooks as an employee – I just don’t get enough commercial to keep it going. Does Les have to say “No” to Frank Brooks? Answer: No. Subbing work to another licensee is not a problem. The work will be supervised and Frank Brooks need not be a bona fide employee. Example 5. Pulling Wire Electric has worked with (GC) for many years. (GC) calls to say he has a motel project in Goldsboro that is to far for daily commute. Pulling Wire Electric would hate for (GC) to start using somebody else. Pulling Wire Electric calls Manpower Labor Supply. Pulling Wire Electric and Manpower Labor Supply enter into a contract. Manpower Labor Supply will provide its employees to Pulling Wire Electric, and give them W-2s, medical, workers compensation. Pulling Wire Electric will have complete control and all liability and responsibility for the job, and will direct all details, including the ability to order any of Manpower’s people off the job. The listed qualified individual is a bona fide employee (gets a W-2 Tax Statement) of Pulling Wire Electric. Is Pulling Wire Electric legal? ANSWER: Yes, for tax purposes, these workers are considered employees of Manpower and leased workers to Pulling Wire Electric, and the contract is very clear that whether the work gets done, and how well, is up to Pulling Wire Electric. The payroll and supply service of Manpower does not mean the workers are working without license, and Pulling Wire Electric is not peddling the license. Failure to meet NCGS 87-43.1 Exception (3) will cause the person to be treated as an independent contractor 7engaging in the business of electrical contracting without a license, a misdemeanor offense. Also, the licensee will be treated as having sold or assigned the license and aided and abetted an unlicensed person, commonly called license peddling, a prohibited offense which can result in revocation of license. NOTE: Compensation paid to an independent contractor is subject to reporting by 1099-MISC Form and/or W-9 Form. There are many resources available to assist you in establishing your business.

The Board considers the nature of the military program of training, completed testing or equivalent training and experience and performance in the electrical field. The Board rule is set out in 21 NCAC 18B.0202 of the North Carolina Administrative Code, available from the Board or online. Depending on the nature of the experience as the equivalent of a journeyman, foreman, superintendent, such experience may be counted 100%. Experience as an apprentice or an electrician helper but not in a full time electrical maintenance department may be counted 80%. Other examples are detailed in the cited rule. The Board will review an applicant’s Military DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty, as well as statements from direct supervisors regarding the type and hours of experience. Because of the difference in wiring systems and methods it is necessary for experience to be with land-based electrical systems. Potential applicants should review the Board’s statutes and rules set forth on the Board website. Pursuant to the same Statute and rule cited above, military spouses may obtain license by presenting evidence of licensure in other states and a sworn statement from a licensing authority with respect to the nature of the examination and experience. Statements from direct supervisors detailing type and hours of experience may also be presented. All veterans and spouses are invited to contact the board office for assistance. ----------------------------------------------CUT HERE-------------------------------------------------------***ALL EXAMS ARE CURRENTLY CONDUCTED BASED ON THE 2011 NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE*** 2011 NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE BOOKS THE 2011 NEC BOOKS (SOFT-COVER) ARE AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE FROM THE BOARD’S OFFICE.

1MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN We are now in the New Year, 2015! Where did the Old Year go? The Board of Examiners of Electrical Contractors, however, is in its third quarter of the fiscal year. Tim Norman, our new Executive Director, has been hard at work taking up the reigns. The PED (Program Evaluation Division) has been working on its recommendation to the Legislature and that has kept Tim Busy monitoring them. It appears that PED will recommend that the structure of our Board will remain as it is at present. Some type of oversight is also in the PED’s recommendation. Who knows what might happen in the Legislature, so everyone should be monitoring the process. The Board certainly will be keeping up with it. Gerald Harvell from the Charlotte area has joined the Board as a Public Member. Gerald is a welcomed addition. He brings a great deal of expertise to the Board. This past year, the Board’s proposal to increase the Project Value Limits was given final approval and is now in effect. Also a proposal to increase the License Fees was approved. These fees will become effective on July 1, 2015. Details about these changes are included in this newsletter. Because there were questions and misunderstandings concerning the Board’s proposal to establish a voluntary Electrical Technicians Certification, the Board decided to table the proposal. The Board will not renew the proposal until all questions are addressed and everyone has a clear understanding of the proposal. Tim and staff have been traveling through the State to meet with contractors at their Chapter meetings. They are being well received and are answering questions and bring back concerns to the Board. If your Chapter wishes Tim or staff to attend one of your meetings, simply call and ask. This year in March, in conjunction with the third quarter Board meeting, the Board will be meeting for three days for committee meetings. There is much work to be done reviewing the Board’s rules, as requested by the State Rules Review Commission. Plans for the upcoming year are also on the agenda. Plan to attend the annual North Carolina Electrical Institute this April 8 & 9. Hope to see you there. James Carpenter, Chairperson PRICE REDUCTIONS – CODE BOOKS The Board has reduced the price of the 2011 and 2014 National Electrical Code books.

PROJECT VALUE LIMITS The project value limits for limited and intermediate licenses were changed in Board Rule 21 NCAC 18B .0303 and became effective September 1, 2014. G.S. 87-43-3 grants authority to the Board to adjust the project value limitation for each class of license based on the project cost index. The limits have not changed since 2008. The Board carried out an analysis of changes in construction cost and found that an increase in size of job available to holders of limited and intermediate license is supported by the data and appropriate. THE COMPLETE TEXT IS BELOW, with the changes set out near the end—note that this rule also describes how to calculate the project value. 21 NCAC 18B .0303 ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION: PROJECT: PROJECT VALUE-LIMITATION For the purpose of implementing G.S. 87-43.3 pertaining to the limited and intermediate electrical contracting license classifications, the following provisions shall apply: (1) Electrical Installation.

If a question is raised by a party at interest or if requested by the Board or Board's staff for any reason, the owner or the awarding authority or an agent of either shall furnish to the Board, and to the inspections 4department having jurisdiction, a sworn affidavit confirming that the conditions set forth in Sub-Items (2)(a) through (e) of this Rule are satisfied or the project will be treated as a single project. (3) Relationship of Plans and Specifications to Definition of Project. Even though the electrical work may not fully comply with each condition set out in Item (2) of this Rule, the entire electrical work, wiring, devices, appliances or equipment covered by one set of plans or specifications shall be construed as a single electrical contracting project by the Board. (4) Project Value Limitation. In determining the value of a given electrical contracting project, the total known or reasonable estimated costs as determined by the Board of all electrical wiring materials, equipment, fixtures, devices, and installation shall be included in arriving at this value, regardless whether a third party such as an owner or general contractor furnishes all or part of same, and regardless of the form or type of contract or subcontract involved. (a) if the total cost of the wiring, materials, etc., including that furnished by others, plus the total cost of the installation involved, will be more than fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) but not more than one hundred thirty thousand dollars ($130,000), then only an electrical contractor holding either an intermediate or unlimited license shall be eligible to submit a proposal or engage in the project. (b) if the total cost of the wiring, materials, etc., including that furnished by others, plus the total cost of the installation involved, will exceed one hundred thirty thousand dollars ($130,000), then only an electrical contractor holding an unlimited license shall be eligible to submit a proposal or engage in the project.

WELL CONTRACTOR LICENSING CHANGES The General Assembly created a partial exemption for well contractors. This was NOT a change sought by this Board. G.S. 87-43.1 was amended by adding the following new subdivision to read: 5"§ 87-43.1. Exceptions. The provisions of this Article shall not apply: (10) To the installation, construction, maintenance, or repair of electrical wiring, devices, appliances, or equipment by a person certified as a well contractor under Article 7A of this Chapter when running electrical wires from the well pump to the pressure switch." SECTION 42.(b) G.S. 87-98.6 reads as rewritten: "§ 87-98.6. Well contractor qualifications and examination. (a) The Commission, with the advice and assistance of the Secretary, shall establish minimum requirements of education, experience, and knowledge for each type of certification for well contractors and shall establish procedures for receiving applications for certification, conducting examinations, and making investigations of applicants as may be necessary and appropriate so that prompt and fair consideration will be given to each applicant. Page 30 S734 [Ratified] (b) The Commission, with the advice and assistance of the Secretary, shall establish minimum requirements of education, experience, and knowledge for each type of certification for well contractors for the installation, construction, maintenance, and repair of electrical wiring devices, appliances, and equipment related to the construction, operation, and repair of wells. Requirements developed pursuant to this subsection shall apply only to the initial certification of an applicant and shall not be required as part of continuing education or as a condition of certification renewal." SECTION 42.(c) This section is effective when it becomes law. The requirements of subsection (b) of G.S. 87-98.6, as enacted by Section 42(b) of this act, apply to applicants applying for certification on or after the date this section becomes effective. Eff. September 18, 2014. The Board remains concerned about potential injury and also about persons who fail to understand or adhere to the limits of the new exemption.EMPLOYEE OR INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR Pursuant to NCGS 87-43.1 Exception (3), a person in the course of his work as a bona fide employee of a licensee of the Board is not required to hold a license of his own. Board Rule .0306 also sets out conditions that must be met. This rule identifies specific conditions the Board will require and evaluate to determine whether a person is exempt as an employee.

Pulling Wire Electric has worked with a General Contractor (GC) for many years. (GC) calls to say he has a motel project in Goldsboro that is to far for daily commute. Pulling Wire Electric would hate for (GC) to start using somebody else. 6Pulling Wire Electric finds Jerry Jones near Snow Hill. Jerry has no license but agrees to help Pulling Wire Electric handle the work for $20,000.00 if Pulling Wire Electric supplies fixtures. Pulling Wire Electric gets the permit and sends a superintendent every Monday. Jerry Jones provides the people and keeps the job together the rest of the week. Legal or not? What happens when the work fails inspection or doesn’t get done on time? Answer: Pulling Wire Electric is guilty of both peddling license and inadequate supervision and faces suspension of license and loss of business which took years to build. Jerry Jones and all his people are guilty of working without license. Neither Jerry Jones nor any of the helpers are “bona fide employees” of Pulling Wire Electric. Most likely Pulling Wire Electric gave Jerry Jones a 1099-MISC Form, and Jerry Jones gave cash to the helpers. Sending a superintendent once a week was inadequate supervision. Example 2. Les Getuit has built his business up to three crews plus a service truck, doing mostly residential work. Last week, General Contractor (GC) calls to see if Les can take on the new Medical Office Building near the hospital. This is a great chance for Les to add some commercial work. He already has the necessary Intermediate license. Les doesn’t have enough people. Les sees that (GC) pick up crews for painting and framing, etc., pay on a 1099-MISC Form, and seem to make plenty of money. Les runs into Frank Brooks who says he has Fridays and weekends free and can get some more guys to help. Frank Brooks says he can line up 10 guys. Is Les headed for riches or ruin? The latter. Frank Brooks and the boys are not bona fide employees. License trades are different from painters, masons and roofers. Lives depend on the work being right. All the people on Les Getuit’s office building must be bona fide employees and Les must supervise and direct their work. Les can’t build his business picking up labor like roofers or painters. Even though Les plans to be on the job every day, Frank Brooks and the boys are not bona fide employees. Example 3. After talking to the guys at the County Association meeting and reading the Electrical Board newsletter, Les realizes he can put Frank Brooks on the payroll, even if it’s just three days per week, and even if they also work somewhere else. With good supervision from Les, there will be no problem knowing who controls the work and who provides supervision. Example 4. A year goes by; Frank Brooks calls Les and says I finally passed the electrical board’s test. I’d like to catch some of your overflow work. Les thinks to himself. – I can’t afford to hire Frank Brooks as an employee – I just don’t get enough commercial to keep it going. Does Les have to say “No” to Frank Brooks? Answer: No. Subbing work to another licensee is not a problem. The work will be supervised and Frank Brooks need not be a bona fide employee. Example 5. Pulling Wire Electric has worked with (GC) for many years. (GC) calls to say he has a motel project in Goldsboro that is to far for daily commute. Pulling Wire Electric would hate for (GC) to start using somebody else. Pulling Wire Electric calls Manpower Labor Supply. Pulling Wire Electric and Manpower Labor Supply enter into a contract. Manpower Labor Supply will provide its employees to Pulling Wire Electric, and give them W-2s, medical, workers compensation. Pulling Wire Electric will have complete control and all liability and responsibility for the job, and will direct all details, including the ability to order any of Manpower’s people off the job. The listed qualified individual is a bona fide employee (gets a W-2 Tax Statement) of Pulling Wire Electric. Is Pulling Wire Electric legal? ANSWER: Yes, for tax purposes, these workers are considered employees of Manpower and leased workers to Pulling Wire Electric, and the contract is very clear that whether the work gets done, and how well, is up to Pulling Wire Electric. The payroll and supply service of Manpower does not mean the workers are working without license, and Pulling Wire Electric is not peddling the license. Failure to meet NCGS 87-43.1 Exception (3) will cause the person to be treated as an independent contractor 7engaging in the business of electrical contracting without a license, a misdemeanor offense. Also, the licensee will be treated as having sold or assigned the license and aided and abetted an unlicensed person, commonly called license peddling, a prohibited offense which can result in revocation of license. NOTE: Compensation paid to an independent contractor is subject to reporting by 1099-MISC Form and/or W-9 Form. There are many resources available to assist you in establishing your business.

The Board considers the nature of the military program of training, completed testing or equivalent training and experience and performance in the electrical field. The Board rule is set out in 21 NCAC 18B.0202 of the North Carolina Administrative Code, available from the Board or online. Depending on the nature of the experience as the equivalent of a journeyman, foreman, superintendent, such experience may be counted 100%. Experience as an apprentice or an electrician helper but not in a full time electrical maintenance department may be counted 80%. Other examples are detailed in the cited rule. The Board will review an applicant’s Military DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty, as well as statements from direct supervisors regarding the type and hours of experience. Because of the difference in wiring systems and methods it is necessary for experience to be with land-based electrical systems. Potential applicants should review the Board’s statutes and rules set forth on the Board website. Pursuant to the same Statute and rule cited above, military spouses may obtain license by presenting evidence of licensure in other states and a sworn statement from a licensing authority with respect to the nature of the examination and experience. Statements from direct supervisors detailing type and hours of experience may also be presented. All veterans and spouses are invited to contact the board office for assistance. ----------------------------------------------CUT HERE-------------------------------------------------------***ALL EXAMS ARE CURRENTLY CONDUCTED BASED ON THE 2011 NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE*** 2011 NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE BOOKS THE 2011 NEC BOOKS (SOFT-COVER) ARE AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE FROM THE BOARD’S OFFICE.
